Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the trouble of operations and to decrease erroneous operations by respectively storing an outgoing line and the number of an opposite party. CONSTITUTION:First of all, a dial key 2 and a line instruction switch 3 are operated so that the telephone number of the opposite party and the outgoing line can be respectively stored in an opposite party number storage means 5 and a line storage means 6. When the telephone number of the opposite party is stored in the means 5, a control part 7 confirms whether the outgoing line is stored in the means 6 or not. When it is not stored, the operation of the switch 3 is waited. When the outgoing line is stored in the means 6 by operating the switch 3 in such a state, the control part 7 reads the line from the means 6 and a control signal is sent to a transmission part 8 and connected to the instructed line. Next, the telephone number of the opposite party is read from the means 5 by the control part 7 and transmitted to the transmission part 8 and when the line is connected to the opposite party, a communicating state is started. Thus, the transmitting line can be designated before or after the number of the opposite party is inputted, and either an extension or an outside can easily be selected.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a telephone connected to a private branch exchange, and more particularly to simplification of an operation for selecting an external line and an internal line.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a telephone connected to a private branch exchange tries to make an outgoing call to an outside line, first the dial "0" indicating the outside line is operated to connect to the outside line, and then the other party's telephone number is dialed. is doing.

[0003]

As described above, in the conventional telephone, the dial "0" indicating the outside line must be always operated before dialing the telephone number of the other party, and this operation is mistakenly forgotten. In that case, the user has to go off-hook and then perform the dial operation again, which is troublesome and time consuming.

An object of the present invention is to provide a telephone which eliminates such troublesome operation and can reduce erroneous operation.

[0005]

A telephone according to the present invention is a telephone having a line indicating switch, a destination number storing means and a line storing means, and the line indicating switch indicates an outside line and an extension line, respectively. The destination number storage means stores the destination number designated by the dial key, and the line storage means stores the line designated by the line instruction switch.

Further, it is preferable that the control means reads out and sends out the line stored in the line storage means and then reads out and sends out the destination telephone number stored in the destination number storage means.

Further, it is preferable that the contents stored in the destination number storage means and the line storage means are erased on-hook.

[0008]

In the present invention, since the line to be transmitted and the other party's number are stored in the line storage means and the other party's number storage means respectively, the line to be transmitted can be designated either before or after inputting the other party's number. You can

The destination number is stored in the destination number storage means until the line to be transmitted is stored in the line storage means. When the line to be transmitted is stored in the line storage means, the line to be transmitted is first read out and sent out, and then the destination number is read out and transmitted out to the destination. The stored contents of the line storage means and the destination number storage means are erased when the communication is completed and an off-hook is made, to prepare for the next transmission.

[0010]

1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the telephone 1 includes a dial key-2, a line instruction switch 3, an input unit 4, and a destination number storage means 5.
It has a line storage unit 6, a control unit 7, and a transmission unit 8. Dial key-2 inputs the telephone number of the other party. The line instruction switch 3 indicates whether the outgoing line is an external line or an internal line. The input section 7 sends the contents input by the dial key-2 and the line instruction switch 3 to the destination number storage means 5 and the line storage means 6, respectively, and stores them therein. The destination number storage means 5 stores the destination telephone number input by dial key-2. The line storage means 6 stores the outgoing line designated by the line indicating switch 3. The control unit 7 reads the contents stored in the destination number storage unit 5 and the line storage unit 6 and sends them to the transmission unit 8. The transmitting unit 8 transmits to the private branch exchange 9 according to the transmitted contents.

The operation of the telephone 1 constructed as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, dial key-2 and line instruction switch 3
Is operated to instruct whether the destination telephone number and the calling line are an outside line or an extension line, and the destination telephone number and the calling line are stored in the destination number storing means 5 and the line storing means 6, respectively (step S1). ). When the destination telephone number is stored in the destination number storage means 5, the controller 7 stores the line storage means 6
It is confirmed whether or not the line to be sent to is stored (step S2). If the line to be transmitted is not stored, that is, if the line instruction switch 3 is not operated, the operation waits until the line instruction switch 3 is operated while the destination telephone number is stored (step S3). In this state, when the line instruction switch 3 is operated and the line to be transmitted is stored in the line storage means 6, the control unit 7 causes the line storage means 6 to operate.
The line stored in is read out, and a control signal corresponding to the line is sent to the transmitter 8 to connect to the line instructed (step S4). Next, the control unit 7 uses the destination number storage means 5
The other party's telephone number is read from and sent to the transmitting unit 8 (step S5). When the other party is connected, the communication state is entered (steps S6 and S7). If the destination telephone number sent out at this time is busy, it waits until another telephone number of the destination is input (step S8). Then, when the call is connected to the other party and the communication ends and goes off-hook, the control unit 7 erases the contents stored in the other party number storage means 5 and the line storage means 6 to prepare for the next call (step S9).

In this way, the destination telephone number and the calling line are stored in the destination number storing means 5 and the line storing means 6, respectively, and when the calling line is stored, the calling line is read by the control unit 7. , The line to be transmitted may be specified before or after the input of the destination telephone number, and it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation during transmission.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the line to be transmitted and the destination number are stored in the line storage means and the destination number storage means, respectively, the transmission can be performed before or after the input of the destination number. You can specify the line to be used, and you can easily select the extension line and the outside line.

The destination number is stored in the destination number storage means until the outgoing line is stored in the line storage means. When the outgoing line is stored in the line storage means, the outgoing line is first read and sent out. Since the other party's number is read out and sent out to make a call to the other party, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation at the time of making a call and eliminate the necessity of re-calling the other party's telephone number.

Further, the stored contents of the line storage means and the destination number storage means can be erased when the communication ends and goes off-hook to prepare for the next call.
